T3: Re: Turn signal


I cannot doubt your experience.

But consider this, according with the VW Parts List there are only two
numbers for the lever 311 953 515   and 515 A.  The only difference is the
manufacturer and it states that there is no difference for model or
options, parking lights, blinkers or not.  the difference comes at the base
of the column where the contacts are wired.

Therefore I can only read that there are two switches and neither are
preferable to model (non T-34).

Have you tried to install one on the other column and it not work?

I must just be lucky to not come across the other type.
